Provided by Sonia Joiner

Categories     Puddings

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

FIRST LAYER
1/2 c butter, melted
1 c all purpose flour
3/4 c chopped pecans
THIRD LAYER
1 c sugar
1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
pinch of salt
3 large egg yolks
2 c milk
2 Tbsp butter
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
SECOND LAYER
1/2 c heavy cream or 1 cup nondairy whipped topping
1 pkg 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1 c confectioners' sugar
FOURTH LAYER
1 c heavy cream or 2 cups nondairy whipped topping
1/3 c chopped pecans or more if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a glass 8 x 8 x 2 inch square dish/pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 2. Make the first layer: In small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour until well blended. Stir in the pecans. Scrape the mixture into prepared baking dish/pan and press evenly over the bottom of the dish/pan. (Hint: it will look like a shortbread crust). Bake in a 350 degree oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Oven temperatures vary so keep an eye it so that you don't over brown it. Transfer the dish/pan to a wire rack to cool.
  • 3. While crust is cooling, prepare chocolate layer, which is the third layer: In a medium saucepan, whisk the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in the egg yolks and milk until well blended and smooth. Cook, stirring over medium heat until thickened and boiling, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter & vanilla. Scrape mixture into a bowl. Place a piece of waxed paper directly on the surface of the mixture, and let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • 4. Make the second layer: In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream, if using, until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add the whipped cream or nondairy whipped topping and, at low speed, beat just until blended. Spread over the cooled first layer in the baking dish/pan.
  • 5. To form the third layer: Spread the chocolate mixture over the cream cheese layer. Place a piece of waxed paper directly on the surface of the mixture and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm and chilled or overnight. (I do it overnight). You can make this recipe up to this point a day ahead.
  • 6. Make the fourth layer: Take glass dish/pan from the refrigerator and remove the waxed paper from the top. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the heavy cream (if using) until stiff peaks form. Spread the top with the whipped cream or the nondairy whipped topping. Sprinkle with pecans and serve or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Good Quality Chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your dessert. Use high-quality chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Temper Your Chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize it and prevent it from seizing. This will give your chocolate a smooth and glossy finish.
  • Chill Your Layers: Chilling the layers of your dessert between steps will help them to set properly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing your batter or filling can make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish with Fresh Berries or Mint: Garnish your dessert with fresh berries or mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This layered chocolate dessert is a delicious and impressive treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give this layered chocolate dessert a try. You won't be disappointed!
